Navicent Health Baldwin Clinical Laboratory Achieves Accreditation

College of American Pathologists Cites Lab’s Commitment to Excellence

The Clinical Laboratory at Navicent Health Baldwin (NHB) has received accreditation from the College of American Pathologists (CAP). Accreditation was based on results of a recent on-site inspection as part of the CAP’s Accreditation Programs. NHB becomes one of more than 7,700 CAP-accredited facilities worldwide.

“CAP accreditation reflects the ongoing commitment to excellence in the clinical laboratory setting, and validates the competency, hard work, knowledge and attention to detail that our Navicent Health Baldwin laboratory team demonstrates on a daily basis,” said Paul Barkley, Sr., Director of Operations for NHB.

The CAP Laboratory Accreditation Program is recognized by the U.S. federal government as being equal-to or more-stringent-than the government’s own inspection program. During the CAP accreditation process, inspectors examine the laboratory’s records and quality control procedures for the preceding two years, to ensure the highest standard of care for all patients. CAP inspectors also examine laboratory staff qualifications, equipment, facilities, safety program and record, and overall management.

“This is a great opportunity to thank the Navicent Health Baldwin laboratory staff for their hard work and dedication in providing quality patient care through our laboratory services. We all share the success of this accreditation and commit to achieving the standards in an ongoing manner,” said Dr. Simpal Gill, Medical Director of the Clinical Laboratory at NHB.

NHB’s clinical laboratory provides services to the medical staff and patients 24 hours a day, seven days a week, under the direction of board-certified pathologists, clinical lab scientists, clinical lab technicians, phlebotomists and laboratory support staff.
